This guide is just to help better understand the Turok 2 Editor. I will go much more into depth here soon going over each section. I will also be updating each section to get more into detail. Enjoy hope it helps

Opening the Editor:

When you have Turok 2 EX started open the console by pressing ~ and type kexstudio

Interface:

Redraw Lights/ Render Light Maps/ Trace Reigons/ Grid Lock (Edward850 thanks for the heads up on the first button here)

Tips:

The best thing to do to start a map is open up levels/custom/test-simple.map its a perfect starting map

Select a mesh and right click: Choose ‘Show Selected Mesh in Model Picker’ (This could help you when you are looking for specific meshes from a certain map.

If you are feeling sticky sectors you need to set the ‘Camera Movement Scaler’ option located in a sectors properties make sure its set to 1.

Using standard copy and paste crashes the editor atm
